Samford played nine guys in Monday's win. The Bulldogs went 6-9 in the pre-conference portion of the schedule while coach Bennie Seltzer tried to find the best rotation.

"Now we've got to find out where he fits in in all of this, and he does," Seltzer said of Williams. "He's only going to make our team better.

"He has a groin injury and those things take time. He did a few things (Monday). The sooner he's back, the better our team becomes."

Tim Williams leads Samford in scoring at 17.2 points per game and in rebounding at 6.9 per game.

After a rough start, the Bulldogs are starting to figure things out. Samford had six road games inside a two-week stretch earlier this season, going 0-6.

"I didn't do my team any favors by scheduling those six road games in a row in 12 or 13 days," Seltzer said. "That's a learning experience that I have to do a better job when it comes to scheduling. Hopefully when we get on the road in our league, those experiences will help us down the line.

"Hopefully something good comes out of it. We won't know until the end of the year."

Wofford is 5-7. On Saturday, Samford travels to Georgia Southern for 1 p.m. game
